California Hayride
(note we are taking a hayride through a parking lot next to a strip mall)

It's Fall in California. We've had a couple of days of rain in the last few weeks (early this year; it's usually November before we start seeing rain again), the leaves on the oak trees are turning, the nights are requiring the winter blankets on the bed, and the baseball season is almost over.

We spent much of today at the Nut Tree pumpkin patch and amusement park. Alex had little interest in pumpkins, corn or hay....but there was the back end of a semi-tractor trailer parked next to the pumpkin patch and someone's camper parked next to the hay wagon tractor and those were pretty cool, in his opinion. He did eventually warm up to the corn bath - a gigantic "sandbox" filled with dried corn kernels. He had no interest in actually getting into the thing, but when he discovered you could pour kernels over yourself like water in the bathtub, he was pretty amazed.
